Needs Assessment of Forensic Laboratories and Medical Examiner/Coroner Offices
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) conducted a needs assessment of forensic laboratories in coordination with the National Institute of Justice that examines the workload, backlog, personnel, and equipment needs of public crime laboratories and medical examiner and coroner offices around the nation. Gathering information from listening sessions and data, the DOJ was able to discover new and relevant information on violent crime, the opioid epidemic, digital and multimedia forensics, and system-based approaches to efficiency and capacity. The department submitted the needs assessment report to Congress in December 2019 with key findings that identified challenges associated with the needs as well as promising practices to address them.
